Cherry-licious Smoothies made with date sweetened nut milk

So, you know how I posted the Almond Latte-licious the other day? Well the foam is really best the day it’s made. You can blend it again the day after, but you hardly get any foam. That’s why I decided to use the rest of that yum-o date sweetened nut milk to make these, Cherry-licious Smoothies. We had one yesterday and another one again this morning. So fantastic. When it starts getting really hot this summer, I’ll blend some of these and throw it in the ice cream machine.
I copied the directions for making the date sweetened nut milk from the Almond Latte-licious post:
Add to your blender:
3/4 cup blanched almonds
2 tbsp Hemp Seeds
water up to about the 3.5 cup line
Blend. Blend. Blend 😉
Strain into pitcher through Nut Milk Bag or cheesecloth.
Squeeze the nut milk bag or cheesecloth over the pitcher then set the almond meal aside.
(use the wet almond meal for cookies—pages 150 & 156 in my cookbook)
Add the nut milk back to the blender with about 4 pitted dates.
(Optional: soak the dates first if they are too dry)
Puree.
To make the Cherry-licious Smoothies:
Add to your blender:
about 3 cups of frozen organic cherries (I get them at Costco)
about 3 drops of chocolate raspberry liquid stevia
Then, fill up to the top cup line with the date sweetened nut milk (recipe above)
Puree.

♥, Kelly

  1. Kelly, that sounds fabulous. Yummy! We eat lots of cherries around here, in any form we can get them. They are great for relieving pain because they contain anti-inflammatory properties. Score! =)

  3. Made it for my 22 month old grandson and he loved it.. I also shared 🙂 We haven’t found a drink yet from you Kelly that we don’t like. I tried to be creative once myself and let my grandson try it.. I didn’t know he knew the word eeewwwww! LOL
